This week’s pre-Mother’s Day topper was all about the moms.
The variety show was split with its characteristic coldness that featured cast members sharing moments with their mothers.
Keenan Thompson opened the show, appearing on the Studio 8H stage with her mother because, she said, “It’s Mother’s Day in about 29 minutes,” which, she announced, meant “a present. There’s still plenty of time to buy.”
“With so many disturbing stories in the world right now, we thought we’d take a break from the regular chill and hear some heartwarming stories from our moms instead.”
Still, Thompson’s mother said she wanted to see who would play Stormy Daniels in a cold open focusing on the porn star’s testimony in former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial. That wasn’t the only reference in the news last week as another mom touched on Netflix’s headline-making live roast of Tom Brady and Report on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s brain worm. Both the Trump trial and RFK Jr.’s “brain worm” were covered in “Weekend Update.”
Other cast members who joined the mothers included Andrew Dismock, Chloe Fineman, Pinky Johnson, Mickey Day, Ego Naudem, James Austin Johnson, Bowen Yang, Colin Jost, Marcelo Hernandez and Michael Longfellow.
Day’s mom proudly calls herself “Butthead’s mom,” referring to her viral sketch from April.
For her monologue, host Maya Rudolph took the stage and explained that she was well-suited to host the pre-Mother’s Day episode, as she said, “I’m a mother four times over. My four beautiful children. There are that I know of.
She was then joined by Yang and Sarah Sherman where they hinted that the actress was more than just a mother to her children.
“You’re not just a mother,” Yang said. “You’re the mother!”
“You’re a 30 rock legend. You’ve had your foot on our necks since Y2K,” Sherman added of the former cast member.
After questioning their compliment, Rudolph turns serious and blurts out, “You’re right.”
Then, introduced by Thomson’s announcer Mr. Infinity Décor, and accompanied by dancers, Rudolph struck a pose as “the mother of the Rockefeller household.”
After a few moments on stage, Rudolph took an epic walk around the set, where she earned two “10s” from the judges and an “I’m gagged” from another judge as she performed her famous mom status. rapped about
During the song she juxtaposed moments from her career and her memorable role with the duties of a traditional mother.
“Remember in that movie when I pooped my pants,” he rapped. “When you were little you pooped your pants and I changed your diaper. I’m your mommy.”
Rudolph later returned in an impressive update to Beyonce’s Memorable partShe made her debut at the Grammys in western wear and platinum blonde hair.
When asked by Mickey Day’s Shawn Evans why she returned, Rudolph’s Beyonce said, “It’s the only thing I’ve tried that I haven’t killed. It bothered me and my husband… Jay Z.
Although she started off confidently and didn’t bother with the first wing, after the second wing, Rudolph’s Beyoncé quickly zoned out and declared, “This wing is stopping my ass.”
“My bones are warm. This wing was a real one,” he said. “You’re gonna make me sing, ‘This ain’t Texas’.”
As the feathers grew, he continued to struggle, interrupting Evans before he could finish his question, asking the host to cover his face before beating him, throwing milk in Evans’ face and his assistant. Take it out, first ask if it is possible. To rip someone’s bones out of their body and replace them with flaming bones,” something he later says can’t be done, and then to put cocoa butter lotion in her mouth.
